I used to love Topshop - am swiftly changing my mind now - that is just hideous!

Hell no! Yuk!

I would but only in the Outer Hebrides under 4 North Face Coats.

RandomIdiot · 13/09/2008 23:46

Whats wrong with it????

well I kind of mean that.

I vaguely remember having something similarish in the 80's when I was a child, but in a jumper rather than a Cardi. It was even hand knitted by my grandmother.

NOT THAT I WOULD WEAR IT NOW.

is this the wrong thread to admit i bought one of them last week? pair of black skinny jeans, boots and a plain black top under and it looks really unique and stylish.

weblette · 13/09/2008 23:46

Hideously expensive too. Bleurgh.

FanjolinaJolly · 13/09/2008 23:47

Eeek !!

pgwithnumber3 · 13/09/2008 23:47

With shoe boots and thick tights it could look quite stylish!

I thought TopShop was slightly cool slighty trendy. Not dad picking up daughter from school disco style! Has gone down a lot in my estimation now based on this one garment!

LOL Giraffe, are you serious?!

However if it were in Boden, there would be a stampede to buy them!

I wouldn't, but I wouldn't bat an eyelid at a lovely young thing with fabulous legs and an oversized bag wearing it - I never thought I'd see legwarmers again or leggings for that matter never mind bloody rara skirts -I'm only 34 and it makes me feel sooo old!

God, I know luckylady. I often just don't get some of the trends and I am only 30! I know what suits me and tend to stick to variations of that. Its quite frightening when things come in that you can remember the first time around. Scary!

Good, like your style giraffe! Get a bit bored of the Boden obsessives!
